Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works
Downloading via Origin, Installing From Ashes & Resurgence DLC, Starting game through Origin, some singleplayer, gameplay in fullscreen mode.


What does not
Gameplay in virtual desktop.


What was not tested
Gameplay on Nvidia card, starting through Reloaded crack, entire campaign, Multiplayer.


Additional Comments

Origin may sometimes interfere with game startup. Use of Reloaded crack may change results here.

Virtual desktop creates very choppy audio/video, game only works in fullscreen mode.

Game may crash at the start of playing Bioware/EA logo. If so, the following patch might work (use it only with ME3 and at your own risk):

Origin Difficulties
Origin has its own entry in AppDB, located here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13176 Please note any difficulties that are specific to Origin there.

 
How to check the version number
Before filing test data, make sure that you know what version of the game you're running. This you can find out from running the Mass Effect 3 configuration utility. People who pre-ordered a digital edition of the game got version 1.01 on release, not version 1.0.

 
To get the Keyboard/Mouse working and increasing in-game perfomance

Please purge your previously wine installation before using that HowTo!

For patching and installing wine on Ubuntu:

apt-get build-dep wine
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.9.tar.bz2
(This wine version is given as an example)
tar xjpf wine-1.5.9.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.9
wget dl.dropbox.com/u/6901628/raw3.patch
patch -p1 < raw3.patch
tools/./make_requests
tools/./wineinstall


For patching and installing wine on Gentoo:

mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/wine-1.5.9
wget -O /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/wine-1.5.9/raw_input.patch 'dl.dropbox.com/u/6901628/raw3.patch'
emerge =app-emulation/wine-1.5.9

Thanks to t800 for the tip ;-)


Increasing in-game performance


If you have experienced performance degradation please deactivate dynamic shadows and antialiasing from game graphic menu. Also set proprietary driver image settings to Maximum Performance. This helps for weak graphic cards like NVIDIA Geforce 120 GT.

 
Fixing game crashes with latest wine

If you're experienced game crashes, freezing or just black screen while using latest wine (1.5.10 or higher), then you will need apply patches from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31406

Thanks to Erich Hoover for these patches :)

mass effect 3 perfect install
by Andrew Aladjev on Sunday July 8th 2012, 14:47
Today I was picking origin all day. I can confirm that last origin (8.6.0.357) cant proper install and update mass effect 3 even on any windows (I've tested on xp, 7 and 8). Tech support know about such problems but it can help only with installing old version of origin (8.4), but in this version game updates wont work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON ORIGIN!

1. buy game. developers of mass effect 3 have created real cool game and they are not blame that the executive director invent this origin
2. install last wine and winetricks (wine-9999 and winetricks-99999999 in gentoo)
3. unpack game
// insert 1 dvd
cp /mnt/cdrom/Mass\ Effect\ 3.z01 ~/temp/Mass\ Effect\ 3.z01
// insert 2 dvd
cp /mnt/cdrom/Mass\ Effect\ 3.zip ~/temp/Mass\ Effect\ 3.zip
cd ~/temp
zip -FF Mass\ Effect\ 3.zip --out Mass\ Effect\ 3.zip.fixed
mkdir Mass\ Effect\ 3
unzip -d Mass\ Effect\ 3/ Mass\ Effect\ 3.zip.fixed
du --total Mass\ Effect\ 3
>> 10466048 (~10.5 GB => success)
4. check that WINEARCH=win32 and make new WINEPREFIX
5. winecfg
Graphics -> Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows
Graphics -> Emulate a virtual desktop (preffered full screen size)
6. winetricks physx
7. rsync -r --progress ~/temp/Mass\ Effect\ 3 $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/
8. google for "mass effect 3 reloaded 1.3" and apply the crack with last patch (just in case block the network for cracked binaries)
9. wine Binaries/MassEffectConfig
ignore the message "you do not have the correct version of directx installed to play this game"
select full-screen option. select other options according to your wishes
10. check that you have ~/BioWare/Mass\ Effect\ 2/Save/ to import character from ME2
11. wine Binaries/Win32/MassEffect
enjoy the game ^____^

From Ashes DLC DRM
by William on Saturday March 31st 2012, 20:09
Running Ubuntu 11.04 with wine 1.4 rc4.

I own the the Digital deluxe edition via Origin, Origin was installed via playonlinux.

Every time I start up the game, it tells me that my From Ashes DLC couldn't be verified and to log into the Alliance Network with the account I used to buy From Ashes.

All other DLC works, and I can play multiplayer.

Fullscreen mode not working
by Roel on Sunday March 25th 2012, 19:05
Hello all,

I installed the game successfully, but have 1 big problem; fullscreen mode won't work right.

My desktop resolution is changed to the correct (game set) resolution, but the screen itself has really thick black borders, and shows only part of the game (about one quarter). When I run the game in a virtual desktop, it works fine (even the fullscreen mode, which is then obviously not full screen anymore).

Can anybody point me to a way of getting this game to run fullscreen.

Mouse jumping with xorg-server 1.12
by Johannes S. on Saturday March 24th 2012, 8:19
Can anyone confirm input problems with the new xorg-server?
I have "xorg-server-1.12" and "xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0" and my aim in ME3 jumps around wildly.

I am using wine 1.5.0 but also tested 1.4.

After a downgrade to xorg-server-1.11 and xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0 it worked again.

Game Crashes on Startup

I installed the game from the disc and updated it by deleting the old files. The game says that it's installed and up to date, but it crashes on startup.

Here is the crash report:

Origin issues
by phreekbird on Thursday March 15th 2012, 19:31
So, I tried to install ME3 via the disk, via download, inside wine, inside a VM w/ XP sp3 on Virtual Box, nothing worked. I couldn't get the game to install or download.

Eventually I created ISO's using Brasero and attached them to my VM, then installed the game that way. Copied everything over into Wine 1.4 and it works great.

System:
Linux Mint 12
Gigabyte z68x motherboard
i7 Proc
16GB Ram
Nvidia GTS 250
